For a first date in Seville, try Plaza de España and Parque de María Luisa, Real Alcázar de Sevilla, or Setas de Sevilla (Metropol Parasol). Weekday evenings are calmer; on Friday and Saturday, book ahead where you can.
A first date in Seville is usually a drink on a terrace that turns into a few tapas and a walk through the old town or along the river. Nobody expects a formal dinner the first time, and evenings start late, especially in the warm months.
Here are ten real places for every budget, from a free walk around Plaza de España to flamenco and a rooftop cocktail, plus two unusual ideas at the end.
